Alright so the S, we're making progress on these tidbits :)
In BDSM, S has two meanings (like the D):
Submission when relating to the D that is Domination and
Sadism when relating to the M (sadomasochism)
Submission is another sore point for some, as people think it means some seriously demeaning behaviour on both partner's account; actually (I use that word loosely as I cannot speak for anyone who practices BDSM) it shows a great deal of trust for someone to willingly allow another person to practically decide when and if they can have an orgasm, what they wear and how they address and are addressed.
The Submissive has all the power- keep that in mind.
Sadism usually refers to the act of inflicting pain or humiliation to achieve pleasure- a sadist is someone who enjoys giving pain.
In BDSM the term pain is relative as, everything is consensual and thoroughly discussed, with parameters set before anything happens; with sadomasochism, the giving and receiving of pain for sexual gratification is often not specific to either party as both usually see themselves as
SWITCH i.e. willing to take on either role in the relationship (a common idea among many BDSM enthusiasts, it seems).
Now I can more than guess that this and the following short post on M really gets some peoples' knickers in a pirouette, along with the entire concept of BDSM...
But I will save my final thoughts for later; for now, do share yours on these so far...?
